I don't need an excuse to eat more almonds (our love affair is already quite public), but maybe you do.
Well, here it is: According to a study conducted by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, almonds have 20% fewer calories than previously thought. Using a new method of calorie-counting that takes digestibility into account, a one-ounce serving of whole almonds was found to be 129 calories rather than 160.
But you know what hasn't changed? The taste. Almonds are just as sweet and nutty as ever. No matter what the calorie count, I will keep on eating almonds raw, toasting them, and mixing them into my fruit crisps. Now I just may be eating more of them!
